SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function consists of error codes for customers which are displayed automatically when errors occur, and error codes which
show the error history in the test mode during servicing. For details on how to view error codes for the customer, refer to the following box
in the instruction manual. For details on how to check error codes during servicing, refer to the following "Procedure for using the Self-
Diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)".
Note 1: About "R"
As this unit has only a few buttons, some operations require the use of remote commander (RM-SJ373/provided with unit: 1-418-554-11)
buttons. These operations are indicated as "R" in this manual.
Example: MENU/NO "R" ...Press the MENU/NO button of the remote commander.
Note 2:
Incorrect operations may be performed if the test mode is not set properly.
In this case, press the RESET button of the back panel.(Timing of pressing three buttons simultaneously is difficult and will put the
machine into improper mode.)
Procedure for using the Self-Diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode).
Note: Perform the self-diagnosis function in the "error history display mode" in the test mode. The following describes the least required
procedure. Be careful not to enter other modes by mistake. If you set other modes accidentally, press the MENU/NO "R" button to
exit the mode.
1.
When the power ON, press the ?/1 button while pressing the s button and z TAPE button together.
2.
Press the lm/I/CD/TUNING ­ button or ML/TUNING + button and when "[Service]" is displayed, press the ENTER/
YES "R" button. (If nothing is displayed, press the FUNCTION button and set the function to "MD".)
3.
Press the lm/TUNING ­ button or ML/TUNING + button and display "ERR DP MODE".
4.
Pressing the ENTER/YES "R" button sets the error history mode and displays "total rec".
5.
Select the contents to be displayed or executed using the lm/TUNING ­ button or ML/TUNING + button.
6.
Pressing the SYNCHRO REC button will display the message "CD-MD SYNC ?" and press ENTER/START to show or to execute the
contents selected.
7.
Pressing the SYNCHRO REC button another time returns to step 4.
8.
Pressing the MENU/NO "R" button displays "ERROR DP MODE" and exits the error history mode.
9.
To exit the test mode, press the REPEAT/DOLBY NR/STEREO/MONO button. The unit sets into the STANDBY state, and the test
mode ends.

Refer to the following table for the details. The error history can be switched by pressing the lm/TUNING
­ button or ML/TUNING + button.
Mode which erases the "retry err", "total err", and "err history" histories.
When returning the unit to the customer after completing repairs, perform this to erase the past error history,
After pressing the SYNCHRO REC button and "CD-MD SYNC?" is displayed, press the ENTER/START
button when "er refresh" appears, press ENTER/YES "R" to erase the history.
"Complete!" will be displayed momentarily.
Be sure to check the following when this mode has been executed.

Mode which erases the "total rec" and "total play" histories.
These histories serve as approximate indications of when to replace the optical pickup.
If the optical pickup has been replaced, perform this operation and erase the history.
After pressing the SYNCHRO REC button to show "CD-MD SYNC." Press ENTER/START and "tm refresh?"
is displayed, press the ENTER/YES "R" button to erase the history.
